So, here's my first robot (yAFRO)

It has nothing exceptional other than running on Arduino instead of PICaxe and being built form an old snakes and ladders board. I choosed this track geometry to make it different than the usuall Tamiya tank chassis.

I still have much to do; the motor driver still doesn't work and I have to learn how to program the Arduino.

Since it's Arduino it can't be powered by only 4 AA batteries, do you have any good idea what type of battery I could use?

I chose not to use normal 9v batteries because I want something a bit more powerful, maybe 6 or 8 AA batteries, I don't know.

I'll update it when I have anything done. Maybe even some videos if I have it running.

*CORRECTIONS, I changed AAA for AA, my error.*
